The very last room we have left to reveal from the Evergreen project house is the mudroom! If you remember from other posts about this flip house, we completely changed the floor plan of the back half of the house. When we added this mudroom/laundry room, we also added a back door (and a Dutch door at that!) and a whole porch to the back of the house.

I used a few bottles of liquid RIT I had laying around in Apple Green, Lemon Yellow, Denim and Rose Pink, and then diluted them down a bit with water.
